I saw a presentation about KNIME but was unfamiliar with many of the processes that it allows one to string together to build a workflow, so the notion of building a workflow myself seemed very daunting. Do you think it would allow one to build workflows for basic stuff and gradually grow in their confidence with it?
The presentation mentioned that the company is/was working on reporting add-ons, I think.
Oh yeah, I'm pretty dumb and I managed to do very complicated stuff. It seems a bit tricky to "get" at the beginning, but it's pretty easy.
The trick is to learn what node does what, because there are lots of them. You can also download community nodes for additional behaviors. Once you learn the basics, it's pretty straightforward.
I learnt by trial and error, looking for examples and info about nodes, and now I have some workflows with data from DBs, files, APIs and all at once.
